Ladies & Gents,
So nice to be able to stop in and update all you lovely folks on an exciting article featuring little ol' me....
ELLE Magazine (Brazil) - March 2010 edition - has featured me as one of five new female artists to look out for in the Jazz/Blues world this year. I'm so overwhelmingly excited and honored to be featured next to Melody Gardot, and 3 other fantastic songstresses!!! Check out the review in the press section, and read the translation below. The author, Luiz Cesar Pimentel wrote a beautiful review, and it made me blush with excitement... coupled with a dream I had (keep reading) I garnered up some juicy inspiration to pick up my pen and write a new song....
I had a dream the other night that I was at a garage sale and found this really cool stand-up little organ contraption, with just the coolest damn sound you've ever heard. I was playing it like a champ, and I wrote a melody that felt like a dark, sticky night in my home state of Louisiana. I miss humidity. California desert heat is baked with a lot of love, but my skin is itching for some honeysuckle dew. I need two things- A trip back home, and garage sale hunting this weekend!!! Wish me luck, maybe next time you see me play a show, I'll have that magical little contraption, and a hot, sticky new song.
xo,
